OpenVAS
-
The DEMO build is just an OVA that you can import into VMware / VirtualBox and be ready to go in a few minutes... Sadly, their image download seems to be overloaded... A whopping 14 kbit download for me... So I'm building from Ubuntu and going to try the OpenVAS9 PPA.
Right.
It's not a working appliance like Graylog, or XO.
No, it is a fully working appliance... but I don't feel like waiting 3 days for it to download, lol.

I meant working in the sense of "production usable" ... it's more a proof of concept than a working appliance like XO or Graylog offerings.

@Veet I did, and I read it as well. Just curious if there was some kind of "paid" or source difference from what they have in the OVA.

It's quite usable for production -- that's what I ran when I used it in the past. You just can't gimp on the RAM. For production, I'd suggest 8GB or 16GB of RAM or more... Especially for anything more than a few hosts.

Oh, that's good to know.
I admittedly struggled a bit with getting it installed from source. But that's probably just me.
And by probably I mean definitely.

If you like Ubuntu, they have pre-compiled binaries and such from the PPA. Easy to set up.

I've worked with it in the past for a particular issue in a product. Worked for what we needed it for.

The Alienvault OSSIM has OpenVAS built in, if I remember correctly. It's much easier to get started with that one... Just download an ISO from their site and go...
https://www.alienvault.com/products/ossim (no infowall or anything like that to go through).

Really? I wouldn't want to live without it anymore.

OSSIM does much more than just OpenVAS... It can be a snort sensor collector and such too.
